Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Artificial intraurethral sphincter with magnetic activator for female patients, that consists of a device that is installed in the female urethra, in a similar way to a urinary catheter, which gives the patient voluntary control of micturition. Said control is effected by means of an external magnet (6) that is suitably positioned outside the body, which opens a magnetic valve that is incorporated in the invention. When said external magnet (6) is withdrawn, the magnetic valve closes automatically, preventing urine leakage. This valve performs an axial movement of a soft ferromagnetic plunger, activated by the external magnet, opening the orifice so that the urine can be voided. In its normal position, i.e., without activating the exterior magnet, the plunger is attracted by a small internal magnet (5), thus closing the voiding orifice.
